Double the space. Double the dream. 🏡✨

This Rio del Mar home had great bones — but a big modern vision waiting to be unlocked. We worked hand in hand with the owners to take a humble 1,400 sq ft single-story and transform it into a stunning 3,000 sq ft modern retreat, all while preserving the original character and soul of the home.

Rot repair, full plumbing and wiring updates, code compliance — we handled the hard stuff so the owners could focus on the finish line. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a whole lot of heart built in just 9 months. 🔨💛

This is what we mean when we say we build dreams, not just buildings.

They had a vision. We had the tools to build it. 🛠️🏡

Some projects are more than just construction — they're collaborations. For this Westside Santa Cruz ground-up rebuild, we worked side by side with the homeowners every step of the way, turning their unique vision into 2,418 square feet of modern coastal living.

Two stories. Four bathrooms. A second-floor great room with a balcony and wave views that'll make your jaw drop. 🌊
This is why we do what we do. 💛

We didn't just build a restaurant — we built a getaway. 🇫🇷🇮🇹🍕

Inspired by the sun-soaked Franco-Italian Riviera, we teamed up with award-winning Chef David Kinch and RVH Designs to bring Mentone to life in the heart of Aptos Village. Every detail was intentional — old world Venetian plaster walls, leather-stained floors, custom millwork, hand-painted tile, and a one-of-a-kind bar that stops you in your tracks the moment you walk in.

Oh, and the custom Italian pizza oven? That went in first — before the framing — because some things are just that important. 🍕🔥

3,478 sq ft of Mediterranean magic, built in 11 months. This is what happens when great chefs and great builders share the same vision. 🙌

From a century-old single story to a modern two-story dream. 🏠✨

This one was all about honoring a homeowner's vision and making it a reality. We worked hand in hand with the owners to transform an early 20th century single-story home into a stunning, modern two-story retreat — ground up rebuild and all.

The redesigned roofline and brand new balcony open up to breathtaking wave views, while the second story great room is the ultimate space to gather, relax, and soak in everything the Santa Cruz Westside has to offer. 🌊☀️

3 beds, 4 baths, 2,418 sq ft of pure Santa Cruz living — built in just 11 months. This is what happens when a client's dream meets Testorff craftsmanship. 🔨💛

When things go wrong, we make them right. 🙌🏠

Not every project starts from scratch — sometimes it starts from someone else's mess. We stepped in, cleaned it up, and delivered an ADU this client will love for years to come. That's the Testorff promise.

We don't just build homes. We build trust. 💛

Lagoon on one side. Harbor beach on the other. Life is good. 🌊⛵
This full demo and new build next to Schwan Lagoon — within sight of Santa Cruz Harbor Beach — is a masterclass in how good design and great craftsmanship can make the most of an incredible location.

The reverse floor plan puts the main living space upstairs to capture every bit of those breathtaking views, while soaring vaulted ceilings and an open stairway keep things light and airy. Downstairs, the bedrooms open onto a private yard, and the kids' game room spills out onto a front porch facing the lagoon. Indoor/outdoor California living at its f

Every detail reflects the owner's personality — rich accents used just right, subtle elegance throughout, and a kitchen that makes cooking with a view feel perfectly ordinary.

Built from the ground up in just 7 months. 🔨

From crumbling to coastal perfection. 🌊🏠

This Monterey Bay beach house was in rough shape — rot, termite damage, down to the studs. But that's exactly the kind of challenge we live for. In just 9 months, we transformed it into a stunning, hyper-efficient 3-bed, 3-bath home built to handle everything the coast can throw at it.

Spray-foam insulation, passive solar heating, electric radiant wall panels, and a natural stack-effect cooling system means this home is as smart as it is beautiful. And those sliding glass doors with unobstructed views of Monterey Bay? Yeah, that's the good stuff. 🌅

The beach called. We answered. 📞🔨
